Overview
HUAWEI E176G HSPA USB Stick (hereinafter referred to as the E176G) is a high-speed packet access (HSPA) universal serial bus (USB) stick. It is a multi-mode wireless terminal.
High-Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Global System for Mobile communications (GSM)
HSUPA/HSDPA/UMTS packet data service EDGE/GPRS packet data service WCDMA/GSM Short Message Service (SMS) WCDMA/GSM voice service
You can connect the E176G with the USB interface of a PC. In the service area of the HSUPA/HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS/GSM network, you can browse the Internet, send/receive messages/emails and voice service without wire connections. The E176G is fast, reliable, and easy to operate. Thus, mobile users can enjoy many new features and services with the E176G. These features and services can enable a large number of users to use the E176G and increase the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) of operators substantially.

3.1 Packet Data Service
The E176G supports the PS domain data service based on HSUPA/HSDPA/UMTS /EDGE/GPRS. After you connect the E176G to a PC with a USB interface, the E176G driver and the client software are installed on the PC automatically. You can configure APN through the E176G application (or directly use the default settings) and set up a network connection. Then you can send or receive E-mail, access the network through wireless connection, and download files through wireless data channels. To use the data service, perform the following steps: 1. 2. Enter *99# or *98# to launch the packet data service. In the Choose Connection Type dropdown box, choose a network type, for example: 3G preferred, GPRS preferred.
3.2 SMS
The E176G supports message writing/sending/receiving and group sending (up to 20 contacts at a time). You can manage messages through the dashboard, such as sorting the messages by telephone number or time. You can also import/export messages between the SIM/USIM card and a laptop.
